Fishing with John :: Television :: Lurie :: 1991 :: All the warmth and illumination of This American Life without the high-brow commentary. Lurie takes a lot of risks in this innovative documentary-styled show, in which he and one of his celebrity friends go on a fishing trip. John is not a professional fisherman by any means, and the narration, while sounding like an official NOVA or Discovery...

:: Inconclusion No matter how good it gets, it never gets easy; balancing on a dime one nervous tick from tipping. It never gets easy, when you’re one nervous tick from tipping, focus seldom shifts. When you are where you are, focus seldom shifts from where you’ve been— where you are always pining for that home, going out from where you’ve been and not finding it; ...

:: A Drive Black roads in grey night, a yellow line struggles to guide me under thin strips of snow as I drive home again. Scenic highways with no scenes for me but a tired theme of dying towns and soulless designs. Reflections of a society unwilling or unable to comprehend a life after theirs, their own life after theirs. Leave nothing but bones and a hollow house, notched and scarred from happy...

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil :: Film :: Craig :: 2010 :: What a riot! This movie has a premise that would make Richard Roeper giddy: two hillbillies named Tucker and Dale (Tudyk and Labine) set out on a fishing vacation in their wilderness cabin only to be mistaken as bloodthirsty killers by college kids, who take matters into their own hands when their friend is “kidnapped” by the pair....

:: The Last Winter You know, I can’t say I really loved winter. It’s cold, dry, and makes travel difficult. But I have never wanted it banished from the Earth. There is a calming beauty to the deadness of a pale winter night. Fresh snowfall, pillowing the natural curves of the landscape, lending sleeves to trees. A white puff of warm air floating to the stars from my mouth, I would...

:: a warmth to melt my winters when i’m lost in the best memories i’m just as lost with my words it’s because since i lost you i feel less lost inside remembering the love that’s still there found in every lovely corner and in every glint of light, a perspective to gain insight into a thing i’ve not felt before.

Zombieland :: Film :: Fleischer :: 2009 :: Easily the best comedy of 2009 and the only film I saw twice in theaters that year, Fleischer and company have an infectiously great time in this zombie flick. Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), who Michael Phillips has described as “more Michael Cera than Michael Cera,” really uses his strong traits of awkward nervousness to his advantage: he has a...

Beginners :: Film :: 2010 :: Mills :: I went into this movie with no expectations and was completely blown away by its honesty and genuine goodwill. Oliver (MacGregor) has just lost his mother, and now, after decades of guilt and repression, his father Hal (Plummer) has come out of the closet. At over 70 years old, he yearns for the opportunity to explore and experiment, and his joy...
